Heh, yep, I'm seeing that, but they usually want the cost of a complete kit PLUS shipping for those parts.

The Revell '69 Nova SS comes with a 350 and a set of headers for the race version.  Watch eBay "parts" section and occasionally someone will sell complete engines from that kit.

Thanks, Midnight.  I have the link.  I also posted this query on another forum and got a reply back that headers can be purchased from Scale Modeling by Chris:

Not exactly what I'm looking for, but definitely something to drop in my spares box.  I think I have the Z28 kit in my stash, but I'd really rather not rob a kit I may one day build to get parts for another I'm modding.

The Revell 69 Z-28 kit has them as well as does AMT's 66 Nova kit. I am sending you a pm with a link to a forum where you may be able to find someone with spare parts.

Wow, thanks Arty.  I wasn't looking at the 'bay traders, but resin vendors.  I have some deciding to do, as the prices they're wanting for headers is really about what you can get a whole kit for.  Man, that's sad.

I've searched, but nothing is coming up that I can discern. 

I grabbed a set from the old Malibu wagon kit and have tried to cast a mold.  I'm on my third try to get something usable, but am coming up very short.  I'd LOVE to have a set of styrene or resin headers for street cars that I could just grab and use. 

My current project is a 95 Camaro I'm building to recreate our 1:1.  It has a LT4 and long-tube headers.  I'd like to not have to buy some other kit to rob the headers out of when I'm doing such things, as I do have a few other projects that'll also need headers.  I'd like small block Chevy headers now, but BBC would be nice, too.  The Gibson 'Roadent' kit has shorty headers, but I'm looking for long tubes. 

I'M NOT BENDING SOLDER!!!  So don't even suggest it!

Does anyone know of some vendor out there that makes just headers?

Thanks.
